N Fit saw chain around the sprocket
wheel (1) and over the guide bar –
the cutting edges of the teeth must
point to the right
N Turn screw (2) to the right until there
is very little chain sag on the
underside of the bar – and the drive
link tangs engage in the bar groove
N Refit the chain sprocket cover –
the pivot pin on the hand guard must
engage in the sleeve – and then
screw on the nut by hand until it is
fingertight
N Go to chapter "Tensioning the Saw

Retensioning during cutting work:
N Switch off the engine.
N Loosen the nut.
N Hold the bar nose up.
N Use a screwdriver to turn the
tensioning screw (1) clockwise until
the chain fits snugly against the
underside of the bar.
N While still holding the bar nose up,
tighten down the nut firmly.

A new chain has to be retensioned more
often than one that has been in use for
some time.
